Pick up...their bodies?
Kelvinâs world exploded in his head, a thunderous crash that left him numb and unresponsive, even as the Ledger familyâs
bodyguard cut him loose. He stood there, paralyzed, his mind a blank slate.
the cold-blooded monster Marcus really using Kelvinâs own parents as leverage? Was that guy even
human?
He was lower than any beast!
âMy guys are on their way, and theyâll be bringing your parents along soon enough.â
Marcus closed in, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he slapped Kelvinâs face twice, the sound echoing sharply. âWhat's it gonna
be, Kelvin? Want to see your old folks hale and hearty, or would you rather see a
couple of corpses?
*Come on, do the right thing. Fetch Wanda for me, and I'll make sure your parents are treated like royalty. If not... Well, letâs not
go there, shall we?â
Kelvin felt like his soul had been ripped out. He staggered to his feet and made a few steps toward the living room door before
his whole body started to shake.
Trade Wandaâs life for his parentsâ safety? Never!
He had been a nobody in showbiz for years, but signing Wanda, that shining new star, changed everything. She was his golden
ticket that catapulted him to the top at Zabaleta.
To say Wanda was the reason for his success was an understatement.
She was a gem, always treating him with such gratitude. When the boss wanted to swap her out for a female agent, worried
about the gossip, it was Wanda who fought to keep him as her agent.
Professionally, and personally, betraying Wanda was out of the question.
Kelvin refused to betray her.
âFamily shouldn't pay for oneâs mistakes. You take the fall for your own actions!â
Kelvinâs eyes were bloodshot, a testament to his rising panic. He shot a desperate look at Marcus and, with a wild edge to his
voice, pleaded, âMister Marcus Ledger, take my life. Just spare my parents, please!â
With those final words, he hurled himself with all his might against the living room wall.
âTrying to off yourself? Cute,â Marcus scoffed, effortlessly tripping Kelvin with a lazy flick of his foot. Kelvin hit the ground hard, a
nasty bump rising on his forehead.
Crouching down, Marcus grabbed Kelvinâs shirt and sneered, âYou think a little suicide stunt will make me let
them off the hook?â
âYour lifeâs worth nothing to me. Dead or alive, it's all the same.â

âIf you die now, Iâll just send your dear old mom and dad to join you. How should I do it, though? A car crash? Boil them alive?â
He laughed cruelly. âCome on, Kelvin, they're your folks. You pick how they go. Think fast!â
Kelvin felt a chill deep in his bones, his blood running cold.
Marcus was a monster, a heartless fiend.
âMister Marcus Ledger.â
Andrew strode up, his right hand in a bandage and a phone in his left. He held it out to Marcus, sparing Kelvin
a chilling glance before murmuring. âThe crewâs ready to move on your call.â
The phone screen showed a live video feed, ready to broadcast their next move.
In the pristine hallway of an upscale apartment building, five Ledger family enforcers stood guard outside a door, their hands
gripping sleek alloy daggers
One of them, phone in hand, aimed the camera at the reinforced door and murmured, âMister Marcus Ledger, the couple is
having dinner. Weâre ready to bust in whenever you say the word.
âYour call, Mister Marcus Ledger. Do we take âem alive or finish âem off now?â
On the other end, Marcus watched the live feed and cackled at Kelvin. âYou know, Kelvin, I canât say I didnât give you a fair shot.
You've got ten seconds. Bring me Wanda, or sit back and watch your folks get carved up.
âTen, nine, eight, seven...â
Kelvinâs world spun, his blood boiling with rage and despair, nearly pushing him over the edge.
What choice did he have?
âWanda...forgive me.*
With tears streaming down his face, he sobbed to Marcus, âMister Marcus Ledger, for the love of God, spare my parents! They're
clueless, theyâre innocent!â
âI'll bring Wanda to you tomorrow night, I swear it...â
âNo need to wait-Iâll bring her today!â
